went down the back

with the Dogparents
and frolicked and

gambolled and caught
up on each other’s

news and happenings

The Dogfather was

off putting the
kangaroos, Nibbles

and Stumpy to bed
with their nightly

“Have you ever been in

I’d like to meet me those

kangas. I bet they’d like to
have a jolly game of chasey.”

“I have” gloated Bonsai. “I
showed ‘em my best Ninja

moves. They were very afraid”,
he chortled.

“I’ve been several times also”,

said Sophie authoritatively. “I have to keep reminding them of their
obligations to the Union.”
